Exempel på ecotone

• The next section, on the dynamics of the forest-tundra ecotone, also presents the results of new research.

• Our results agree with this assumption, and demonstrate good recruitment potential in this ecotone microhabitat.

• Where do fires occur along the forest-savanna ecotone?

• A combination of model c and d is adequate for the subset comprising all amphibian species, since it responds to both gradient and ecotone descriptors.

• One such ecotone comprises the forest succession from bare soil that occurs naturally on beach successions along meandering rivers.

• However, more commonly, an environmental gradient producing an ecotone supports an intergradation of communities that form a continuum of floristic change.

• It must be noted that we do not search for distinct sets of species associated with a particular ecotone.

• The solid line marks the sharp ecotone enclosing the woodland and the dashed square the location of the floodplain plot in which foraging parties were observed.

• Conifer seedling distribution and survival in an alpine treeline ecotone.

• Habitat heterogeneity was significantly higher in the mixed open forest/ecotone area than in the adjacent rain forest.

• It is most commonly found in open areas in the ecotone between longleaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins.

• Lastly, the abundance of exotic species in an ecotone can reveal the type of biome or efficiency of the two communities sharing space.

• The ecotone is established by elevation increase, temperature decrease at higher elevations, and rainfall (less rain shadow at higher latitudes).

• The habitat is meadows and the ecotone between grass-forb meadows and mixed coniferous forest.

• The band of ecotone has, as a consequence, representatives of the flora and fauna of both forest and savannah.
